LIFE, um, FINDS A WAY WITH NEW TRANSFORMERS X JURASSIC PARK COLLABORATION: INTRODUCING ‘TYRANNOCON REX’ AND ‘AUTOBOT JP93’ – AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER ON AMAZON NOW!
‘More than Meets the Eye’ Collides with the Prehistoric Predators from Iconic 1993 Film
Below you will find images followed by the press release:
PAWTUCKET, RI – June 29, 2021 – Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), Universal Brand Development and Amblin Entertainment today revealed the first-ever TRANSFORMERS X Jurassic Park collaboration. The iconic T.Rex and Ford Explorer from the blockbuster 1993 film, Jurassic Park, are now TRANSFORMERS robots – TYRANNOCON REX and AUTOBOT JP93. The new TRANSFORMERS X Jurassic Park figure and vehicle pack celebrates the groundbreaking, ultimate thrill ride, Jurassic Park, which brought audiences to an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA… and we all know what happened next!
Welcome…to Jurassic Park. TYRANNOCON REX is on the loose, and it’s up to AUTOBOT JP93 to track her down and stop her from wreaking havoc. Both figures feature a combined 260 unique decos and details inspired by fan-favorite moments from Jurassic Park. The TYRANNOCON REX figure converts into T.rex mode in 27 steps and features detailed molded dino texture. The figure features an all-new head mold and stands at 7 inches.
Fans will also enjoy a nostalgic interpretation of one of the iconic vehicles from the film, as the AUTOBOT JP93 figure converts into licensed Ford Explorer mode in 18 steps. The figure stands at 5.5 inches and comes with a blaster accessory that can attach to the figure in both modes. Dr. Alan Grant and the Game Warden inspired both the JP93 hat in bot mode and the JP93 blaster accessory.
Both figures are contained within packaging inspired by the unforgettable scene in Jurassic Park when the T. rex gets loose from her enclosure and crushes the Ford Explorer. The packaging also includes a cardboard backdrop illustration of the T. rex’s cage, so that fans can recreate the iconic scene, in addition to T. rex footprint graphics on the back of the pack.
TRANSFORMERS robots have always been… More than Meets the Eye, but now, through the TRANSFORMERS Collaborative, fans can experience these larger-than-life characters as they team up, mash up, and meet up with other characters, teams and people who share this same special quality. It is a world of constant change where things are not what they seem.
The TYRANNOCON REX figure and AUTOBOT JP93 vehicle pack are available now at $104.99 for pre-order on Amazon.com. A second release of the figure and vehicle pack will be available starting December 1, 2021, via HasbroPulse.com and select retailers worldwide.

I like Autobot JP93 mostly because of the alt mode and the hat
Could care less about tyrannocon Rex though
A bit pricey too
Still really cool! We need more cowboy/outlaw type transformers. We already have a samurai with Bludgeon, a few ninja characters, and a spartan with Impactor. Let's get some Cad Bane type bots. If im not mistaken there's already a cowboy type character in the cyberverse series

...okay this is the best looking crossover so far for me, that Rexy is a better looking repaint for that mold than T-Wrecks and the Explorer looks solid. I like both their head sculpts, and the Explorer bot looks to use all new parts but copy like 80% of the ER Datsun engineering/transformation, which is interesting. Hopefully these'll show up cheaper down the line though, $105 bucks seems like a lot for a Leader and a...I dunno if the Explorer is equivalent to a Deluxe or a Voyager, but that's still too much either way.
There is, yes, Wild Wheel.Razorbeast88 wrote:If im not mistaken there's already a cowboy type character in the cyberverse series

I'm thrilled that we get another female 'bot, and very pleasantly surprised that she's a Decepticon. I suppose it's likely due to the fact that in the original JP movie, all the dinosaurs are female, but either way, I'll take it.

Kewl. Yes let's bring Wild Wheel to generations and pit him against JP93, wow this guy needs a better name lmao
And one or two more outlaw type bots!
If the price goes down on the set I'd like to think of Tyrannocon as having a Strika type personality or like Hela from MCU, just calm and ruthless. Need a better look at her head sculpt too

really liking the Trex and its bot mode head, def would consider getting it over the other two uses as I plan to eventually get MP BW Megatron.
*I'd be using the Trex as a merc in all likelyhood with the Trex not really being a bad guy and the best bit is, no stupid merc faction symbol yay!
Jeep on the otherhand, I'd have to head swap it with something else. Kinda feels 80s or wfc stylised alternator which isnt a bad thing.

I love this, this might be the first cross-over set I get because I love Jurassic Park.
Also: and this may just be me wanting this to be so because I know Hasbro/Takara are probably not doing something like this for a LONG time, but I swear that Autobot JP93 is a pre-tool for Armada Red Alert, as I'm having a hard time trying to figure out if it's a re-use of an existing mold or not.

New mold on JP93, can't tell if Tyrannocon Rex has any new parts other than the head. Quite a surprise both possibilities came true.

JP93 is the worst TF name since Under-3 and that's only a name by default. But it's a really nice looking TF. Is it another all-new mold? Eaat your heart out, Ironhide.
Glad the Tt-Rex has a new head if nothing else. I'd feel happier about if if the Megatron mold hadn't broken on me. At least it's in the better mode out of the box, so I just won't transform it,.

Also: the names really don't bother me. I actually kinda like "Autobot JP93" as a name. Makes me think of how in the film Bumblebee was "B-127" at first.
Tyrannocon Rex is dumb, but doesn't bother me so much. I've seen for other people though it's a big turn-off. So here are some alternatives from the Jurassic Park Wiki: "The animatronic was nicknamed Roberta in Phil Tippett's storyboards for the first film, however, the majority of fans address her as Rexy, the nickname given to her in the original novel"

I hadn't realized that. But it's true.
She can be called Tyrannocon for short, or if we're being grammatically correct, we could call her Regina, since her species name could/should be "Tyrannosaurus Regina" or "Queen of the Tyrant Lizards"

"Rex" is latin for "King" as I recall, so calling this a "her" doesn't seem to jive with the terminology. It's correct that it should be latin for "Queen".
Or is this another one of those situations where the character is referred to as one gender, but 'identifies themselves' as some other gender....? The head sculpt is nice - pity I have no interest in this figure, having already dismissed Barney Megatron and "T-Wrecks".

All I see is a new kingdom (or beyond) Skids in that jeep guy. Overall the set is cool and I did preorder it since I would like one version of the T-rex mold in my collection. I think I am going to use the jeep guy as a generations wild wheel.

In the original Jurassic Park, all of the clone Dinosaurs were initially female. Although it should be noted that this is in fact NOT supposed to be the exact T-Rex from JP (because last time I checked it wasn't a robot), but a Transformer-inspired interpretation of it. So of course it gets weird here...
Vehicles on earth aren't alive, so if a Transformer scans a vehicle, they still retain whatever personality they are...
But if you scan a living animal, and take it on as an alternate form, does your gender automatically change to whatever gender the animal you scanned is/was? I mean Tigatron scanned a female tiger, but he IS Male. Megatron, and Dinobot scanned fossils (not even alive). Do we assume all the other living animals the Maximals and Predacons scanned were the same gender they were?..... yeah it gets real weird.
I mean I get the simplicity of wanting this Tyrannosaur Transformer (based on the original Tyrannosaur Animal from the JP movies) to be female, because the animal was female, but I guess we have to wait and see, until then, people are just going to interpret it however they wish.

It states in every post Amazon, face book, and even here that she’s a female. What is there up for interpretation? Tyrannosaurus Rex is referred to as a Rex regardless of gender, it’s just the species name my guy. That being said I’d prefer not to call her Tyrannocon Rex, that’s just lazy naming right there. It feels more like a species/build name like Seeker, or Vehicon, then an actual name.
I can’t decide between renaming her Tyra, Roberta, Regina, or Princess Bitey.
(If anybody has better names feel free to give suggestions :3)

Okay guys. Okay. I’m not the biggest fan of JP, but gosh dang is this an awesome looking set. I did not expect the JP93 to be apart of this set, but it’s brought this set from a “maybe” to an IMMEDIATE preorder. Rex’s head sculpt is epic, but just cause I’m a sucker for face plates and visor eyes. Make anything look bad A with those two things. Even how amazingly they’re displayed in box is just a cherry on top.
Gotta agree with everyone else on this one though, the asking price for this is a new level of high. I expected $90, and I thought that was being generous. Breaking the $100 barrier is a little frightening for a leader/deluxe class combo. But I’m a sucker, and I can’t expect them to lower their prices when I buy out everything they’ve got like without hesitation lol.

I thought It was expensive too, but I suspect those extra dollars have gone mostly to the decos. They seem very complex. I'm sure there's an extra fiver or so in there just to take advantage of brand recognition and to make up for licensing, but most of it has clearly gone into the paint schemes.

Paint is bumping the cost up remember, these have more Paint in them than tfs of similar classes. That and the licence will bump up the costs as its not simply the Jurassic Park ip at play, but the Ford branding.

NOW you're talking!
That set is absolutely gorgeous and bad-ass at the same time! At 105US dollars, it's as if it will be roughly 30$CAN more than the regular price for a deluxe and a leader. Could be worse. But I don't trust Canadian pricing and I expect the set to rather cost something like 120$US or even 130$US. And if it's badly distributed like the Top Gun Maverick bot, it will be a huge nope.
This will be a wait and see for the Canadian market.

Tyrannosaurus Rex is the name of the species, which includes both sexes.

There's also Cybertron Downshift. We are getting a Skids next tear though, so we'll probably see hints of this toy in that one.

If it had been the Jeep Wrangler instead of the Ford, I'd be all over this. As it is, it's a nice set but seems like a missed opportunity for me.

Ooof! I'm off by a vowel going with an 'a' instead of an 'o' for my username. Eh, suppose that is close enough I guess. XD
Hopefully, I can still put my pre-order in for it when I have a bit more breathing room for it in my checkbook. Really love the fact the Rex is a Decepticon and using my username minus the letter difference.

Has Hasbro reused any of these Collaborative molds? I'm still waiting for more Hearse Transformers from Ectotron.
I'm making up my own names for these two
They are, um, Tyrannissa and Parkour

Man, that set looks ultra rad! Rexy came out better than I could have hoped (I am still going to call her that, sorry Tyrano-folks) and JP93 is a weird name akin to B-127, but I dig it. Looks like it uses the SS86 Jazz tooling, looks like it in the waist and the way the arms and shoulders function. But as a new mold, shared engineering.
Looks great, I preordered it. I am excited to eventually have 3 T-Rexes. Probably only 1 will actually be in Dino mode, which is OK, Rex rules

I gotta say....this two-pack is really cool! Tyrannocon looks amazing in T. rex mode. 
Before I read that Tyrannocon was a female Decepticon, I thought that the robot mode might be a tribute of sorts to Action Master Snarl's weapon partner Tyrannitron, giving him a humanoid robot mode. Sure, this toy is red vs orange, but otherwise...it's close.
I know we already got a Beast Wars\Kingdom Grimlock....but it isn't too difficult to imagine Tyrannocon getting a repaint as a more G1-ish Grimlock. Instead of being tan and brown, the T. rex mode could be mostly grays, while some of the red in robot mode can be replaced with more gray and yellow or gold.
Speaking of Beast Wars\Kingdom Grimlock, I was wondering how his head might look on Beast Wars Megatron's body. Tyrannocon shows (at least to me) that it would work very well.

Rex is clearly a title/word in Latin that refers specifically to a male person. So we're calling a female Tyrannosaurus "King"? It's like saying "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" includes both sexes, even though the female in that duo is NOT John, she's Susan.
I realize this probably isn't coming out the way a I'd like, but I'm not really sure how to articulate it.

Even though I like it and preordered it, I ain’t happy about the price and it’s Amazon exclusivity. But I guess it’s better than Target at this point…
JP93 just reeks of potential Skids-iness.

It's literally the name of the species. I don't think it's sexist. It IS generic, though. Queen in latin is "Regina", I think. Probably a weird name for a robot, since it is an actual name people use. Although Randy exists...

Not to mention, this was all already established in the actual movie Jurassic Park. They called the T-rex a T-rex despite all the dinosaurs on the island being female for safety reasons. The robot being a female makes sense in this regard. T-rex is simply the name of the species.

Yes, because Tyrannosaurus Rex is a scientific name. Those are specifically chosen to be static and immutable, to avoid confusion and always be sure you're talking about the same type of being. That's why they're in latin: It's a dead language, so it's guaranteed not to change with usage like common names do, because, well, nobody speaks latin in their everyday life. It's dead.

I don't know why the word Rex is a sticking point; the name is just boring. IMO.
Being female fits well with the JP franchise. TBH, my only issue with that is my issue with the toy itself - in robot mode it looks like Megatron. I've been spoiled by more extensive remolds to sell me on new characters based on existing molds. But I get it. The remold money went to JP and that was the right choice.

Well considering they were all retools except for the Maverick from Top Gun, I don't know if we will. I mean CW Hotspot was reused Many times, Ectotron was just the most extensive one. IMHO Maverick just looked kind of "cheap", I mean I wouldn't put it past Hasbro to try to use it again, but not sure what they would use it for. Most of their Earthmode Jets are all voyager size currently.
